Lost in a Sea of Mermaids

Lost in shapes of color

Lost in a motion of expression

I’m lost in a sea of mermaids

Captured by the sparkling treasure

They lure me in, conquest my heart

They promise lands, treasures at hand

I dip my toe in glorious resilient waters

And come out lost

Have I been bewitched?

Played? Drugged?

My mind erased, confusing thoughts

Oh precious mermaid don’t call my name

I don’t seek your jewels nor your beauty

I was lost and stumbled upon your territory but now I know I don’t belong here...

Off I go, back to shore!
